Abstract:Considering a possible use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) in automotive gearboxes, this paper investigates influence of oil on mechanical properties of CFRP. This particular research was a part of wide-focused project whose goal was to design a gearbox using large proportion of CFRP in order to reduce mass and noise. Part of this design was a filament wound shaft. In order to investigate an influence of oil on such part, 18 test specimens were manufactured. The specimens were simple tubes 15 x 9.9 … Show more
